I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

Families in FL-21 are facing a crisis. Because of the government shutdown, SNAP benefits may not be available in November, leaving people without food assistance.

I grew up relying on SNAP. I know what hunger feels like and I’ll fight in Congress to make sure no family ever goes through this again.

A FEDERAL JUDGE IN CHICAGO RULED that starting this week, ICE agents can now face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests, marking a dramatic shift in immigration enforcement oversight in the city.

The distilling image of what is happening to this country as demolition begins at the White House to prepare for Trump's rumpus room. #Politics #demolition #WhiteHouse

A large excavator is demolishing part of the East Wing of the White House to prepare for Donald Trump’s new ballroom, with significant debris scattered on the ground in front. Several construction workers wearing safety vests and helmets are present in the scene, and a temporary wooden barricade is set up along a metal fence in the foreground. The upper portion of a grand, classical-style building, likely a government building, appears in the background.

I braved Trump Territory - Indiana - for their #NoKings protest yesterday. What I experienced was bold, brave, and transformative. #ThePeopleUnitedCanNeverBeDivided. Proud to protest with my fellow #Hoosiers to #SaveOurDemocracy

Federal immigration officers in Chicago area have been ordered by court to wear body cameras after they repeatedly deployed pepper balls, smoke grenades & tear gas against protesters & local police, seemingly in violation of a fed judge’s ruling from last week.

Agents also appear to have violated order banning them from using riot-control, such as tear gas, without warning

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

I want to see you in Chicago’s Grant Park #NoKingsProtest. I’ll be there rain or shine wearing a NoKings pin made for me by #BarbKeith and a paper clip, a symbol of Norwegian resistance in WW2. I’m giving away paper clips for you to wear every day until we secure our democracy. Look for me.
